NTR Kousuke

Chapter 32

I, who had joined the top clique girls' group, was made to wear a messy black wig and live with a mask on, under the guise of infectious disease prevention.

Osada: "Don't stand out as much as possible, okay?"

"Yes!"

I, residing in a corner of the top clique, was a low-ranking member of Osada-san's flashy group.

Osada: "I want to drink café au lait..."

*Jingle*

The sound of coins?

!!

"Yes! Shall I go get it?"

Osada: "Huh? Yukaricchi, you're fine with that kind of thing, aren't you? More importantly, don't stand out, okay?"

"Yes!"

Osada: "Ah, sorry? Could you buy it for me?"

The inconspicuous boy in the class was being sent on errands...

I'm not used to this... Is this what life is like for top clique girls?

Tense, murky, anxious, timid.

Since the new semester started, I've been living like that.

September, week 2.

My diet is going well, from 61kg to 58kg!

Just a little more, just a little more until my initial target of a standard weight of 55kg...

My final goal is a beauty weight of 50kg... The time limit is until November, isn't it?

I'm also at my limit.

Because Kousuke-kun encourages me every day,

and because he accepts me when I act spoiled or complain, I'm just barely managing.

On holidays, my body is aching, and I'm doing light menu activities like walking, but if I express weakness, Kousuke-kun comes.

Kousuke: "...It can't be helped..."

he says, and comes all the way to my nearest station, which is the next station over!

He doesn't say sweet things, and his words are few, but.

Kousuke: "...Tomonaga-san is working hard... Don't overdo it, okay?"

he says with a smile.

For my own sake, for Kousuke-kun who is working hard with me, and for everyone in the film club, including Tanaka-kun, who is cooperating, I need to succeed in this diet and complete the documentary...!

...What will happen when it's completed?

What will happen when my diet succeeds and the documentary is completed?

To show up Kuzu-kun and Mishima-san?

To get thin and beautiful?

What will happen?

Perhaps because I'm so preoccupied with my diet, I don't understand.

Kousuke-kun, who sends me LINE messages, encourages me, and works hard with me every day... I'm getting interested in him.

He's also the person who saw me at my most difficult time, at my most ungraceful.

I... want to show them up, but now I'm starting to feel like I want him to look at me...!

Is it growth or desire?

I don't know, but I've started to become aware of what lies beyond the success of my diet!

I made up my mind and decided to take a step forward.

I wonder if we can go out again?

It's almost Friday after school, the weekend!

I aimed for after club activities and asked Kousuke-kun!

"Kousuke-kun! Sunday!"

Kousuke: "...Eh? What about Sunday?"

"Sunday, do you want to go out? My diet is getting a bit tough, so... for a change of pace..."

Kousuke: "...For a change?"

"Aquarium! I want to go to the aquarium!"

I squeezed my eyes shut and asked Kousuke-kun, thinking, *Please!*

Kousuke-kun looked thoughtful?

You always decide immediately and come with me, don't you?

Kousuke-kun looked apologetic,

Kousuke: "...Sorry, I have plans on Sunday..."

"No way, but that's right, isn't it? Sorry for asking so suddenly! ...I was getting carried away... Haha."

Kousuke-kun looked apologetic,

Kousuke: "..., yeah, but... leave it to me?"

September, week 2, Sunday.

In front of the aquarium.

Airi: "Eh?! Kousuke-kun invited me, saying 'How about the aquarium on Sunday...?' so I came!"

Airi-senpai, perfectly styled, was incredibly cute and made me stare in admiration.

A fall dress with a beret, a refined lady's style!

I thought maybe Kousuke-kun would come too.

I was waiting, barely managing with my current weight in a thin knit cardigan and a light green checkered two-piece dress,

"but a LINE message came saying, "...I prepared a substitute, so forget about the diet and have fun," and Airi-senpai came!"

but a LINE message came saying, "...I prepared a substitute, so forget about the diet and have fun," and Airi-senpai came!

Airi-senpai had two envelopes and said she was told to open them upon arrival.

Two aquarium tickets...

The other envelope, she said, she was told to open after leaving the aquarium.

I wanted to go to the aquarium with Kousuke-kun under the pretext of diet stress,

and Airi-senpai also decided to come to the aquarium because Kousuke-kun invited her!

When I said that, Airi-senpai turned bright red and looked down,

Airi: "...Last week, I said to Kousuke-kun... 'Oh, I really want to go to the aquarium after a long time!' in an exaggerated way... At the time, he just brushed it off...

Then on Friday night... he asked, 'How about the aquarium on Sunday?'"

Kousuke-kun! Both of us wanted to go to the aquarium!

It means he thought, *I'm busy, so why don't you two go together!*

Is that what happened?!

We both complained about Kousuke-kun a little angrily.

While looking at the tanks, we saw large sharks, schools of sardines, a dolphin show, and sea otters.

We both enjoyed ourselves while complaining.

Yes, it was fun!

We both thoroughly enjoyed the aquarium while grumbling!

After fully enjoying ourselves with my senior, we returned to the terminal station by bus.

Airi: "Oh, the other envelope...?"

Airi-senpai peeled open the envelope.

"What did Kousuke-kun say?"

Airi-senpai showed me the contents.

A meal ticket for the popular conveyor belt sushi restaurant in front of the station...!

"After going to the aquarium? Sushi? After seeing all those beautiful and cute fish?"

Airi: "..."

...Gulp.

I ate sushi with Airi-senpai.

From a diet perspective, it was a day I was allowed to eat, but I felt a lot of guilt.
